Robert Trent Jones Jr. describes his masterpiece, Chambers Bay

This hole is flexible in length and can be played as a drivable par 4. Golf shots are played along the railroad tracks across and between vast sandy wastelands. It is a beautiful, relatively flat golf hole, where all shot options are apparent. The strong player can take dead aim at the green. However, any mistake will be severely punished. Play safe and you still have a very small target green to approach from an awkward angle. Note the tire marks from the tractors in the right of the photo. This shot was taken early in the course's life when much of the grass outside of the fairways had yet to grow in. We left the tire contours specifically to give the grass seeds a place to find purchase in the windy and sometimes rainy conditions. This created a very natural pattern of growth.
